Looks like Zippo is diving deeper into the outdoor gadget market.
I’ve always wondered why Zippo never released a little tool about the size of a key chain Swiss Army Knife with little functions required to service them. A small flathead, pliers for pulling and trimming the wick, and on board storage for at the very least a flint and a few squirts of fuel, maybe even a wick. Something so that no matter where you are you’ve got what you need to keep smoking.

Zippos fuel caddy has a tool for flint replacement and a holder for flints. Nothing for servicing wicks or reattaching flipped off lids though. 🙁
